Chapter 1487
Quill seriously scanned Olivia's face for any sign of dissatisfaction or other negative emotions.
However, he found nothing. She was indeed an open-minded woman, who had been sincere with what she said to them. Her words did not contain any hidden sentiments.
He had initially been worried about Vera's safety, but he decided he could rest assured after he saw Olivia like that.
Therefore, after they entered the house, he left the girls alone.
Olivia set the wedding invitation and favors on the table, scrutinizing the surroundings. She then winked at Vera and said, "Your husband worries about you a lot."
She gave off the impression of a young girl mischievously ribbing a friend. Vera gradually lowered her guard after she saw how warmly Olivia was treating her.
"I'm sorry, he didn't mean any offense. You saw what happened at the wedding last time too. After that, he constantly harbors suspicions. No matter what sort of situation or who he meets, it's all the same to him. It's not just you," she explained.
"I understand." Olivia waved her hand around to emphasize her nonchalance. "I'm fine with it. I don't like him anyway, so it doesn't matter doesn't matter to me how he thinks of me. However, at that time, your husband really didn't pull any punches in settling the matter."
"You know about it?"
"Of course, the moment something happened to you, Holt Group suffered losses. I saw that online." As she spoke, Olivia gave her a thumbs up. "He's really good to you. He's a good husband."
Vera smiled shyly and then asked, "Sam also treats you well, right?"
"Yeah." Olivia nodded. She replied in a completely natural manner, "Of course. He does whatever I ask him to, and doesn't dare do otherwise. I like that about him."
"Congratulations to both of you. I'm really happy for you guys." Vera offered her congratulations.
"I guess what happened that time probably scared you. I don't think your husband will agree to you attending our wedding. That being said, I still have to follow through with the formalities. Since I have already sent you the invitation and favors, and even received your blessing, I won't take offense if you don't go."
When she looked at the cheerful girl before her,
Vera could not help but be envious. Her envy was mixed with gratification, too. She had always felt that she had let Sam down. After all, he used to be really kind to her and accompanied her while she was abroad.
In the end, if she managed to find her happiness but Sam didn't, it would worry her.
Now that he had found such an intelligent woman, Vera rejoiced from the bottom of her heart and gave them her blessing.
Olivia was the type of person who was really easy to get along with; she could swiftly redirect the topic to other matters.
She even said at last, "Come on, there's no need to feel awkward about it."
Vera thought she had a point and agreed. "Okay."
They talked and talked, and gradually grew closer to each other. Vera promised that she would definitely attend the wedding. In reply, Olivia put on a tone of displeasure. "You'd better not come. If you come to the wedding, Sam might call it off!" Right after, she burst out into laughter, when Vera had not even reacted yet.
That sort of thing wasn't funny at all, yet Olivia was laughing so wholeheartedly. Vera finally confirmed that Olivia didn't mind the fact that Sam loved her in the past.
While Vera was lamenting how cruel she herself was, her heart ached for Olivia. She thought to herself that she should follow in Olivia's footsteps. Many things in life wouldn't go according to plan. Many times, it was better to move on than continuously dwell on a matter and stir up trouble. To do so would only cause oneself unhappiness.
Their conversation transformed them into good friends. Olivia decided to make a move when she noticed the time. Before she left, Vera reluctantly took her arm.
"Can we go out together in the future?" She asked.
"Of course. Do you want to go shopping? I have a good friend who's still single. I can introduce you guys next time," replied Olivia.
Vera really didn't have many friends. Apart from Minerva, whom she could be open with, she really didn't have any other close friends. Having met the energetic and lively Olivia, she yearned to get closer to her.
"Okay, I'll give you a call."
"Alright."
After Olivia left, Vera remained sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face.
Her radiant smile was what Quill saw when he went to her. His expression softened a lot when he saw his wife that happy.
He sat down beside her.
"Are you that happy?"
"Yes." Vera held onto his arm. In a tender voice, she said, "You don't know how nice she is. I've never met anyone like her. Sam got lucky when he found a girlfriend like her."
He recalled what Olivia told him. He nodded in agreement. It was a rarity indeed.
He said, "You're right, she really seems open-minded."
Right? I've added her on Facebook. Can I go out with her sometimes?"
"Go out?"
"Yes. I also promised her to bring you along to her wedding, okay?"
"But last time..."
He was a little hesitant. After all, Vera's current situation was different from before. She was now pregnant. A few months had passed, so her belly was already showing.
"What? How long has it been since then? I've already promised her. I don't want to break my promise."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Though they had become Facebook friends, Olivia and Vera did not have the time for their shopping date, thanks t how busy Olivia was. She was preoccupied with her wedding fittings and finding a makeup artist, as well as sending out invitations to friends and relatives.
She knew that she had drifted apart from her high school and college friends. If she privately invited them one by one, it would seem like she was fishing for wedding gifts.
Therefore, she refrained from texting
them privately. She directly shared the news of her marriage in their group chats. It was beyond her expectations that the once- silent group chat would suddenly become lively again. Her friends tagged her there and gave her their blessings.
When she read all their texts, the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up. She typed a reply to them.
"Thank you for your blessings, dear classmates. If you're free, please come and attend the ceremony."
After that, she put her phone done and headed for the bathroom to take a bath.
She looked at the toiletries inside the bathroom.
She had recently bought a lot of matching supplies for her and Sam online. They were all laid out in the new house.
Nothing much had changed. Sam and Olivia were the same type of people who kept the bathroom sparkling clean at all times. He was also fussy and would neatly arrange the toiletries in the bathroom so that they resembled a display shelf in a store.
She was not as fussy as he was, and she would always grumble to him about it. She simply wasn't used to how he arranged the toiletries. As a result,
even washing her face became an inconvenience because she could never find her cleanser.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
To that, he unexpectedly retorted, "Who asked you to be such a show-off? If you didn't buy this many toiletries, you wouldn't need to search for that
long."
